Typical synopsis of our Sub Genre
I am going to be looking at the synopsis of religious horror films as this is the sub genre we have chosen for our film.
Most religious horror films involve two characters, the antagonist and the protagonist. The protagonist is usually an innocent person who is living a normal life, the character is showing signs like scratches, convulsions, tone of voice changing and the use of foul language. The antagonist is usually the devil or a demon, this character is never shown because he is usually portrayed through and object or an innocent person, usually a child, we see this in movies like 'The Exorcist' and 'Annabelle'.
We see all this happen in the film 'The Exorcist', when a normal, innocent girl is possessed by a demon. The early symptoms of the possessions were just her feeling sick and nauseous and throughout the film we see her symptoms get worse and worse, her appearance ends up changing and so does her voice, it gets distinctly deeper and darker and she starts to use foul language that no girl of her age should be saying. Towards the end of the film, her condition becomes very worrying, she starts to spew this green liquid.
The protagonist of this film is then introduced as the local priest. He performs a Exorcism on the girl and ends up banishing the demon from her.
